The quality of this item was disappointing. Originally listed at $500 and discounted to just over $100, this sort of pricing would imply a higher quality fireplace accessory. Unfortunately, this was not the case. A google search of this item offers up retailers selling it at approximately $85.

The frame of the piece was warped and difficult to assemble due to having been warped. I managed to do so after working on it for nearly an hour. Because the frame is uneven a shim is required to keep it still. Additionally, the directions included with this item were for a different version of this item.

While it looks nice, I'm guessing a better quality piece of furniture can be found elsewhere.

This wood holder is strong and sturdy. I can stack enough wood for two night fires, plus there is a shelf at the very bottom where I can add newspaper or the little logs to help lite the fires. Makes it look neat andorganized. It added great decoration to the livingroom. I like having the wood holder and tools all-in-one so that I dont have clutter in my livingroom.

Mine is assembled and holding a decent sized stack of wood. I got this model because I have a small amount of space adjacent to my stove, and I had lost the stand for hanging the tools.

While not really difficult to assemble, my package arrive with no diagram for assembly. I had to look at the picture on this amazon page to see which direction the leg braces mounted. The nuts and bolts are extremely cheap, and it would not take much to strip the screw head. It is best to use a screwdriver to hold the head, and turn the bolt carefully with a 10mm wrench. The bolts are just long enough to get the nut on, and sometimes you have to press the bars together to get them close enough for the bolt to catch.

The shelf is a mysteryit does not attach to anything, it just rests there, and has a mysterious single hole that serves no purpose.

All in all, this is way overpriced for what you getit is really about $30-$40 worth of parts. I looked at a bunch of these on Amazonmost seem to be priced high, and if I lived in a town with a decent sized hardware store, I'd shop there first.

The broom fell apart within a month. It is sturdy enough, easy to assemble, but craftsmanship is lacking. Probably pass on this one.

Discount Casa Moda "S'mores" Maker

Casa Moda 'S'mores' Maker
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I am not sure what all the other reviewers are upset about. The product is exactly as described and I was able to get all items at my local grocery store. I received this as a gift and let me tell you I had no idea how much fun it would be. We use it on a regular basis (1 sterno lasts you forever) and love using it when we have family or friends over. They get a kick out of it and it brings back that campfire fun you used to have growing up(Quick hint: make sure you buy the thin chocolate bars and not those monster ones otherwise the chocolate doesn't melt well with the marshmellows). I have never received any complaints and if anything people have run out and bought their own. If you are scared about fuel availability look into it at your local grocery store, costco, catering store, or camp store. Otherwise, what are you waiting for there are many fun conversations to be had over this fun dessert.

I am a big s'more fan. I will eat them for breakfast when we are camping. When I saw this I bought it. It works great! I have got my money's worth. It is a big hit at get togethers, too. It's easy to operate. It will burn the marshmallow like a real campfire. So if you like burnt, it works good for that. The canned fuel does not come with it. So you need to purchase that separately. And watch the size of the can. The size they recommend is the size you need. You can find it in the camping section of stores such as Target, etc. I recommed this to anyone who loves s'mores! Well worth your money!!!!!!!!

A lot of people think that "one use" appliances are silly, and they may be right. But I personally love them.. I also think they make fun and unique gifts! This s'mores maker is one of my favorites.. simply because I've never made s'mores except when I was out camping and the Casa Moda s'mores maker makes it so easy to have s'mores all the time, in the comfort of my own living room.

Some reviewers commented that they couldn't find the fuel that it requires but I had no problems finding it at my grocery store. It's easy to use, easy to clean up and really fun. It has ceramic containers for your ingredients (graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows) that sit around the burner all on a lazy susan. It comes with little fondue fork type things to help you roast your marshmalls and a snuffer for when you want to extinguish the flame.

This maker is a great gift, and I highly recommend it. It's much more fun than a lot of stuff people buy I am giving it to several people! No matter how impractical it may seem to have a "one-use" appliance.. they're fun and people love them!

Honest reviews on Casa Moda "S'mores" Maker

I was so excited when I received this product as a gift, and I was not disappointed when I used it. It is basically a pu pu platter like they use in chinese food restaurants with ceramic ramekins for the marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers and fondue forks to toast the marshmallows. It toasted the marshmallows just like a campfire would! I found the fuel (Sterno) at the supermarket, but you can get it at party supply stores also.

This was a Christmas gift, and I must say, it's great. Sure it's big and I have no where to keep it, but I don't care. The kids love it and the finished product is yummy...just like the campfire version, minus all the smoke ;) One word of caution, make sure the little ones don't lean across the flame to reach for something or let their long hair dangle into it. Very close supervision is required!! Also, because the flame is small and intense, your marshmallow can ignite very easily. I would recommend this product, though... Great for rainy/snowy days in the house. Have fun!

I really like Duraflame logs, so much so that we don't even bother with real wood fires anymore-it's just not worth the hassle. Of course it's not exactly the same, and you don't get as much heat... But the effect, convenience and price make up for it. I can have a nice full fire burning all night for around $2 and don't have to deal with the wood delivery, storage, splitting anymore.

The only reason I'm lowering the score is the Duraflame Colorlogs just don't have the promised effect. They work and burn just fine, but the colored flames are barely noticeable. To my eye, its just the same orange flame, with only a sliver of blue or purple here and there around the edges.

I would recommend using the normal 4 hour duraflame logs because they last longer-at least 3.5 hours on average. I usually cut the logs in half and use a small amount of starter gel to get them burning faster. The smaller logs still give the same flame height and full burn time--at half the price. I also stick the logs in the middle of a gas-style 'concrete log set' and it looks very similar like a wood fire. We've had more than a few guests surprised that it wasn't.

What it is: free-standing fireplace screen with iron-work. It is designed to keep the fire in the fireplace and protect what's outside from sparks, etc.

I have a small/medium fireplace with gas log lighter. It has the traditional chain-mail screen in front, which I I did not think was big enough to keep sparks down / keep the dog from getting too close to the fire. This screen is long enough and tall enough to keep the dog well away from the fire and provide complete coverage of the fireplace.

It seems well made, heavy duty, stands on it's own well, and looks fairly nice and simple.

This fireplace screen is lovely! It's solid, well-made and really quite attractive. We've been looking for a while now and were having trouble finding a screen large enough to cover our fireplace opening sufficiently. This screen did the trick and the best part is, you can have beautiful votives burning on those occasions when you don't want or need a fire in the fireplace! Delivery was also very quick, which was great! We're delighted with this purchase!

These are GREAT

First the construction is SOLID and the ceramic is thick and heavy....which is good ebcause it will hold and radiate heat.

Second and very important is the appearance. They look like real wood

Color is excellent and there a variations in the bark that make it look even more natural.

GREAT!

Everyone that sees them thinks thay are real in our outdoor fire pit. Mixed two of these with one order of "Peterson Gas Logs 9 Inch Oak Brances set of 2" to fill a large 24" across round fire pit. Flames look awsome as they roll around the logs. After a year of exposure to rain and snow logs are holding up just fine.

I can find no evidence that this product contains citronella, except on the vendor listing. Nothing on the labels indicates citronella. This "citronella" oil is labeled Vegetable In&Outdoor Lamp Oil (Aristo). It has another label covering this saying Bio Lamp Oil (Blindkilde), with a sticker saying "Relabeled for Amazon.com US". So, where's the citronella?

Smells and burns the same as the Outdoor Vegetable Lamp Oil (Agowa) I'm already using. This seems just as good (hence the 4 stars), and just as expensive, for use in Danish Elipse Outdoor Garden Torches, which burn with a large smokeless flame.

It does evaporate if you leave it in the lamp, especially outdoors in the sun, so I store the lamps in the garage and put stretch wrap over the top before putting lid on (after cooling).

We like it and use it with Good Directions 206CH medium Oil Table Lamp with snuffer cap (also available on Amazon). We use each time we dine outdoor along with other citronella derived products (candles, oil). We are barely bothered by mosquitoes.

I have had a ventless fireplace for 10 years and have been using this product for the same amount of time. I usually place 2 cans behind the ceramic log. It really puts out heat (sufficient for an Arizona winter anyway) and crackles and pops. It is a great alternative to a woodburning fireplace. Don't get me wrong, they are in no way the same, but if you are looking for a beautiful fire for ambiance and a little warmth, this will do the trick.

Having owned a gel fuel fireplace since 1995, I have tried just about every brand of gel fuel there is available. The Real Flame Gel Fuel is the best. They seem to burn a good 15 minutes longer than the others (around 3-1/2 hours for me), as there is barely any burnt residue left inside the can after it cools down so I can check it.

One thing I learned not to do is buy too many cans ahead of time. I tend to use these only for special occasions other than the one time my electricity went out due to high winds (and I'm total electric so my furnace was out too). In this case, this gel fuel was a life-saver for me....but if you buy too many cases at once and don't use them up over the course of 1 or 2 winters, the burning time will be less the older they get.

I was worried these might put off carbon monoxide fumes, but they don't I borrowed a carbon monoxide detector and the entire time the 3 cans were burning, the detector never moved off zero.

My only complaint about any of these gel fuels is the slight alcohol scent they give off. This isn't as noticeable if you stay inside the entire time it's burning, but if you go outside and then come back in, you can smell it ever so slightly.

The Real Flame brand had less alcohol odor than the others I tried. I wish they could put a vanilla scent into the alcohol that would overpower the alcohol scent. Then they would be perfect.

This is a great product. I've used it now for almost two years. It gives off a nice amount of heat, even though it states it's not meant to be used as a heat source. It also crackles like a real fire in a real fireplace. Very pleased with this product and do recommend purchasing it.

Honest reviews on Real Flame Gel Fuel - 13 oz cans; 24-Pack

I have used this gel fuel and it is really a great alternative to a real fire place fire. It burns for 2-3 hours and makes no smoke at all. There is a little bit of an odor, (not bad) but your nose adjusts to it quickly and you don't smell it after a little while.

It can warm a room 6 degrees in an hour, so it does help keep you warm. The crackling sound the gel emits makes it seem more realistic and it is a nice soothing sound. The only drawback is the fact that you have to use two to three cans at a time and that can be very expensive. I use two and it does a good job, but, three would be great.

I purchased my gel fuel fireplace two years ago. Last year, I bought a case of Sunjel (red label). This time, I bought Real Flame. Both are great. I love the crackle sounds and the ease of use. Just rip off the label, pop the top off and light. No mess, no cleanup, no gas smell. The Real Flame smells a little more alcohol-ish before you light it, but once it's lit, there's no smell at all. Great stuff.

Hi, The decorative Pine Cone Cover was shipped in just the manufacturer's packaging; plastic wrap in a sealed cardboard box without any padding bubble wrap or peanuts nor was the cardboard box put in another box with padding. The seller said the manufacturer would not allow the product to be taken out of the box to be re-packed, so that it would have to be packed in another box with padding to ship with-out damage. Several of the tips of the pine cone were broken off, so the damage was very noticeable. But more than that, the pine cone itself was poorly manufactured, with lots of air-bubble holes from when the material was poured into the mold. It was very tacky looking. Also, it was much larger than it appeared in the photo, so even if it wasn't damaged or poorly made, it would seem really out of place, instead of hiding the remote receiver cover. Note: the seller did refund the full purchase price as well as shipping and I didn't have to ship the item back; they just told me to 'dispose' of it. I appreciated not having to spend any more time or $$$$ shipping it back.
